Term

Counter-rotation

Opposing rotational movement of upper and lower body regions within a freestyle action.

GLOSSARY

In this atlas entry the focus is on how a shifty, supported turn or short rotation is organised. Observe the motion of the torso and board separately instead of assuming that the whole rider-board system turns as one rigid unit.

Context and distinction

This card describes the freestyle application. Counterrotation remains a separate general-mechanics card.
